What is the life of a pushover? One of a social outcast? Do they ever get their happily ever after? Who would even love a person like that? Aren't these people created to be ostracized and made fun of and taken advantage of? And what is the purpose of one's life if they leave you high and dry once they don't need you anymore? What is happiness? And what does it take to be happy in a world where people would walk all over you if you only act kindly? Does your life even matter? Just because you're breathing does it mean you are living? Or are you taking up the space and oxygen from somebody who would be better at this "living" thing? Loneliness isn't pretty, but being used and abandoned is downright ugly. Welcome to the life of Carter Boncoeur.

Book 1 HomeLess Book 2 ReckLess Book 3 SenseLess Being homeless isn't the end of the world. At least, that's what Zachary thought when he found himself on the streets after being kicked out at seventeen. It hadn't been his fault. His father had used him as a scapegoat and won his mother over, thinking that her husband was telling the truth about his cheating and that Zachary was the one who was bringing women over, trying to ruin their marriage. He'd argued his side, but once his mother decided on something, her mind would not be changed. That's how he came to live in the alley near the end of 73rd street between the old bakery and a laundromat. It wasn't anything special, but after three years he'd managed to spruce up the place and make it almost-bearable to live in. Over the years he'd made friends with random people he often passed on the streets and did manage to hold down a few random jobs, but like everything else, they came, then went. Now he was left with fifteen dollars and twenty-two cents, a torn blanket, one outfit, and a dream for a better life. He just didn't know that he'd find it somewhere he'd never thought to look... or with someone he never knew he'd want.

Grief is a five letter word but the turbulence it creates can last as much as five years, maybe even more. 7 Weeks Without You is not a story, but a state. Each week reflects one stage of grief: grief for the death of your loved one.
